Why the upcoming Winter Season might be the best Time in Decades for a Kitesurfing Cruise in the Grenadines
If you’re dreaming of turquoise water, steady trade winds, and remote kite spots only reachable by boat—now is the time to turn that dream into reality. The Grenadines, long considered one of the world’s top kitesurfing playgrounds, are entering a truly unique moment in their history. After the destructive force of Hurricane Beryl, the islands are bouncing back—but in a way that might make this winter the best kitesurfing season in decades.
A Rare Opportunity: Empty Spots, Same Perfection
We’ve spent years sharing photos of perfect kite spots, turquoise lagoons, and dreamlike downwinders from our kite cruises in the Grenadines. Many of you have seen the images—glassy water, steady wind, and kitesurfers gliding through paradise. But no matter how much you’ve seen or heard about it, what’s happening now only the elder Kitesurf Cruiser amongst you might remember.
Hurricane Beryl, while devastating for infrastructure on land, acted like a time machine for the Kite Cruise experience. Tourist traffic has dropped dramatically. Hotels and resorts are still recovering. But the sea and anchorages? The Kite Spots are untouched—and more beautiful than ever.
The Grenadines became increasingly popular and often hosted a dozen kites now lie wide open. Anchorages that used to feel lively now offer this unique, remote detachment from our often busy real lives back home. It’s the same perfect conditions—just with total space and freedom. This is how the Grenadines felt before they appeared on every kitesurfer’s radar. And it’s a window that may not stay open for long.
Why a Kitesurfing Cruise Is the Perfect Way to Explore the Grenadines Right Now
While rebuilding is ongoing on land, life on the water is as reliable as ever. A catamaran-based kite cruise gives you access to:
- Spot after spot of butter-flat water
- Endless downwinders between the islands
- Protected lagoons you might only have to share with some turtles
- The ability to kite directly from the boat, unaffected by onshore limitations
Onboard our official DUOTONE Yachts, you´ll find the perfect combination of accommodation, healthy meals, the latest Kite gear, expert Crew and great company.
The Grenadines: Still the Caribbean’s Top Kitesurfing Spot
From Union Island and Mayreau to the Tobago Cays and beyond, the Grenadines offer a rare combination of:
- Consistent trade winds (15–25 knots) from December through June – more than any other Cruising destination in the Caribbean
- Uninhabited islands and coral reefs that create safe, flat lagoons and an awesome scenery
- Tropical water temperatures—no wetsuit needed
- A laid-back, welcoming vibe, especially now when tourism supports the local recovery
You’ll kitesurf alongside sea turtles, anchor off deserted beaches, and wake up each day to a new island and a new session.
In Short
There’s never been a better time to experience a Kitesurf Cruise in the Grenadines. Nature has reset the stage, and for those ready to explore by sea, this winter may be the most authentic, rewarding season in years—perhaps decades.
